Let me track back of where we get our food for iftar:
Day 1: We were at my Mom's in Sungai Petani. Mama of course cooked delicious dishes. We had ikan bawal with sambal, roasted beef in black pepper, big prawn fried with. We also bought some food at Pasar Ramadhan near Mama's house. The price was cheap and the size was quite generous. The taste was good too.
Day 2: As we were coming back to KL and we started the journey at around 1pm, I decided to not to cook. Hahaha.. I know... I know.. the reason is lame. But I still have no mood to cook. Plus I was eager to try out food at param. We chose Wangsa Maju Param to buy our food for iftar. The familiar people selling the food this year. same as last year. The menu was the same though the stalls was in a long line. Hubby was craving for gulai nangka. So he bought RM2 and got around 3 pieces. Also same goes to me. I bought kerang at RM2 and got only a scoop of it. And the taste was sucked! Even the RM2 murtabak was like a pancake. Damn! I ban PARAM Wangsa Maju for this year's Ramadhan!
Day 3: We've been to this PARAM before. The food was alright. We hope it won't let us down for this year round. We went to Wangsa Melawati Param. It stalls line was shorter than the Wangsa Maju's but the food looks more deceiving. Hubby still looking for his gulai nangka. This time around, he bought it with rice and just cost him RM6! It included veggies as well!! I got my rice packed with sambal udang and it was merely RM3!! How wonderful! The taste was good too:) But the murtabak's taste was quite dissapointing. It's ok. We have plenty of time to get a good one:)
Day 4: Since we had a good experience yesterday, we went to the same Param today. We went to the same stall and I had the same menu. Beside, we have cucur cempadak. With RM2, you got 5 pieces. Generous? Not at all!! But its ok for the craving tummy:) Back home, when I opened my packet for iftar, it was so shocked to find that the rice is almost mouldy. It's ok. It's only a part of it. We had watermelon juice as for drink. Alhamdullillah!
Day 5: We decided to cook!! And it was a disaster! Hubby did spaghetti and I made lasagne. I didn't even taste my lasagne. The cheese just don't get it right! Damn! I was hungry throughout the day! Damn! Never to cook again!
Day 6: We went to Danau Kota and I had nasi beriyani! Nyumm!! Hubby had nasi camur. Also nyum!
Day 7: We bought food at Danau Kota's PARAM and break the fast at my in'laws'. It was great! The food was fine. Good to be surrounded by family. Apan was at home too.

Multi-Tasking
Who never perform multi-tasking in their life? I bet everubody experience muti-tasking in daily life, e.g brushing your teeth while under shower or watching television and eating at the same time.
I appreciate time so much. I value every second that I have. And I always believe that I can achieve a lot of things in a short time if we plan it well. I hope my confession wouldn't leave people with wild judgement on me. Actually I always count each time I make steps, e.g when I'm putting on clothes or the time I spend in the shower.
To be frank, I 'm quite proud that I can do multi-tasks in many tasks! I always brag about this to my husband.
However, I just found a thing that I can't do it together with other stuffs: EATING!! Since I have kids, usually I can't eat in peace. Normally I have to stop in the middle of it to do other stuffs; e.g giving them food, changing their diaper, becoming referee and many more. I lose weight since I'm becoming a mother and right now I'm INVESTIGATING the reasons of my weight loss. I figure out that multi-tasking while eating is one of the culprits because at the end.. I wouldn't finish up my food.
Conclusion: NO MULTI-TASKING WHILE EATING!!!

New Environment
Today marks 5 days me working at MERCY Malaysia. I'm a Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Officer under DRR Department, under Operation Division. Currently I have no Head of Department as Puteri, Aishah's friend, left. So the acting HoD is the Operation GM. There are 4 officers including myself, an assistant and an intern. I have two projects under my belt and is looking to add more project that will keep me super busy.
Today also, I'm the only one left in the department as some are out for mission, training, and also on leave. I have nothing to do except for browsing the blogs, jumping from one to another. Currently, the leftover in the office are enjoying watching movie (I don't even bother to ask for the title) and I'm here on my desk, scribbling this note.
Life has been crazy since I started working on Monday. Travelling by LRT and has more than 10 stations to stop, make me tired. I always arrive early to work, say at 8.40am because I want to leave early. Juma will fetch me at Taman Melati station as he already at his mom's once I start make my journey back home. Usually I'll be super exhausted once I reach home and off to sleep at around 9.50 pm.
Lunch is not much hassle as in Ampwalk last time as Pasar Seni offers variety of food. I have my lunch gang already, or if I have no choice, I'll go with Takako, our GM. I know already which places offer good price for food. I like eating at my desk as I'm a very lone ranger type of person but a makcik made a complain on it.
So far, I'm enjoying my work in Mercy Malaysia. It's a new challenge and I'm up to it.

Afiq is Getting Married
I have four brothers and zero sister.
I love them equally.
But I have a brother that we've been close since we were kid till now. He is the person that I'll call if I'm in emergency. He is a person that I'll share news about anything, bad and good. He is a person who will listen to my crap talk. He is the brother that understand me in and out.
And he is getting married.
I'm shocked with the news. I'm happy for him and at the same time I'm sad that I'm losing him.
After all..... we had grown up and that part and parcel of life.
All the best, adik!

While You Are Away
Many things happened while Hubby isn't around. Many things happened that change our life.
1. Maleec went through potty training
I think Maleec is ready to be diaper-free. I've been thinking about this since a year ago. However nobody can help me with it. My mother-in-law is busy with other grandkids and my maid that worked with me ... well.. can be said as... hopeless! I took this chance to train him. I just make him wear pants without diaper. At my hall, which has carpet on the floor, I spread the bubble wrap that I save since I got back from Kuwait. Maleec has to stay on the bubble wrap, no where else. With 2 pees on the floor and a poo on the bubble wrap, he is diaper-free now! He will tell me whenever he needs to do his business. But he still wear his diaper if we are out or when he sleep. Nonetheless, I notice that he wouldn't pee in his nap. He will wait till he wakes up! Good boy!!! Tick for Abang, tick for Mummy!
2. Aaron is walking
I'm a mother of two and I believe 100% that mothers have instinct on their kids. I have a very strong instinct that Aaron is going to walk soon. It's cute watching him learning walking. At first, he gave up. He found it is too slow to reach another point, so opt for crawling. Sooner, he starts walking though he fell most of the time. He walked like a zombie and rushed when he was about reaching his destination. Still, he can't perform with shoes on. Eventually now, he walks most of the time and can walk with shoes on! He enjoys walking at park.
3. Maleec is a parrot
Everybody waits for this little boy to talk. And now he is talking non-stop!! Though he can't make it in a sentence yet, but he can express his needs! That is the most important thing. When I bring him out, he will say out things that across him. Bird, trees, pokok, cat, whale, swimming pool, adik, and many more. At home, he can tell me he wants yummy (food), drink, pee, poo, bee (tv), bobot (Transformers movie), an others! I love to see this progress, but frankly I'm tired answering to him. LOL. Whenever I'm angry towards him and scold him, he will imitate what I say! What a cheeky young boy!
4. MERCY Malaysia
Believe it or not, I went through three times of interviews to get this job. Yeah! I got the job, as Disaster Risk Reduction Officer. I have mix feeling on this issue. Will elaborate more when time is right.
5. WHO Procurement, Cyberjaya
I went through the technical test last night. It wasn't good. Hopefully miracle happens. I want this job badly. Seriously!
6. Familia
I had few panic attacks. LOL. But it's not funny ok! Seriously it sacred me to death. I thought I'm dying. My brother, Fazran Arief, came to accompany me for a week. It was a relieve to have him awhile. MIL and BIL came to look after the kids while I went for interview. Mummy, Uncle and other siblings always keep in touch with me, keeping me safe and sound. Thank God I'm surrounded by great people. Alhamdullillah!
7. Facebook Page
I made a page where I sell clothes and accessories. If happens to be it isn't sell, I can wear it by myself! Hiks. Here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/StyleLimitedEdition
The idea is to get the stock while travelling. It won't be restockable. That's the beauty of it and that's the reason it is called Style- Limited Edition.
8. Aaron is One
Our baby is one year old already. How fast time flies. He is a cute cheeky liltle brother to abang, apple in mummy and daddy's eyes. He and abang are inseparable. Yes they dofight, but most of the time there are each other companion. Great to have you in the family, Adik. You just make us complete. Happy birthday sayang!
That's the major milestone so far, I guess. Can't wait to see you on this Saturday. Have a safe flight darling!

Separuh jiwaku pergi mengiringimu
Memang! I cried while hugging Aaron when hubby left to Japan. Memang drama, kan? And Maleec brought some toys to cheer me up. He thought Mummy is like him, sour face can turn to sweet face when been bribed with toys. Perhaps, it's true. But Mummy's toys are expensive, say, LV or Gucci or Prada, even Coach pun boleh lah!
I had a panic attack. It went difficult for me to breath in breath out. I started calling my mom. And she said she will pujuk Adik, my youngest brother, to come and teman me as he is on his semester break now.
Last night, I had difficulty to sleep as well. Serba tak kena. I miss you Sayang. Rindu sangat!

Third Time is a Charm
It has been a week hubby in Japan and we are still surviving. Alhamdullillah.
today I have to dragged myself out of bed early since I have interview at 11am. It is work interview and today marked the third interview for the same position at the same organisation. Hopefully I'll get it:)
We filled up our hungry stomach at normal junction before heading to Gombak to leave the kids with their grannies. We read as me and adik ya! Maleec cried and Aaron was speechless after awhile not been sending to my in-laws' house.
Then we rushed back home for me to get ready. But yikes! I was late. I was late for nearly 10 minutes and the organisation's receptionist was on the phone, asking the details of her job interview that will take place tomorrow! Double sucks!
The whole afternoon was filling up with restocking my goods:) Adik was a great companion. thank you so much. And alhamdulliallah I have a buyer today.
Malam was quite horror. Since the pipe in teh kitchen is blocking and the floor will be flooding if we use the sink, I have to wash dirty dishes in the bathroom. This bring down my mood of cooking. Seriously. Luckily Mak packed some dish for dinner. So I just coked rice and heat up the leftover. But adik was not a great help here. Hmm... What to expect? Lower your expectation please, Fatin!
After all, it was a great tiring day!
Enjoy your weekend:)
